What started as answering telemarketing phone calls turned into becoming a bar owner.
Like many people at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Omar Khouri was stuck at his Winston Salem, North Carolina, home. During that time, he received several telemarketing phone calls and decided to answer them, asking questions to find out who the people and companies behind the calls were.
He added, “I kind of got the idea that, well, if I can get them to pay for the call, well then they’re gonna stop calling me because it’s gonna get too expensive to call.”Courtesy Kenny Morganelli With the money, Khouri purchased dive bar Bull’s Tavern in Winston-Salem, when the owner put it up for sale after 10 years.
“We’ll have a drink that’s the ‘Car Warranty,’ another one that’s ‘Debt Relief,’ one called ‘Student Loans,’” he said. “Whatever the name of the scam is.”
